NCDOT to handle county debris removal

N.C. Department of Transportation crews will begin picking up storm debris in Alamance County on Monday.

The agency will collect vegetative debris along state-maintained roads from the ice storm that happened March 6-7.

Alamance, Caswell, Guilford and Orange are among nine counties for which Gov. Pat McCrory is seeking federal disaster declaration. The declarations mean the state would receive federal funds to help pay for the removal of vegetative debris along state-maintained roads.

Crews began picking up debris last Monday in Caswell County. Debris pickup begins this Monday also in Guilford and Orange counties. The first sweep is expected to take several weeks, and will be followed by a second and final sweep.

Residents on state-maintained roads are asked to place debris along the side of the roadway as soon as possible. Do not place debris in travel lanes or in areas where it will block drainage, mailboxes or fire hydrants, or create issues for motorists and pedestrians.
